In 2024, Steele can be seen returning to Cedar Rapids Opera in Puccini's Tosca, making it his first time with the company since his acclaimed Pirate King in Gilbert & Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance in 2022.A master's degree and performer's diploma graduate of the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, Steele completed his studies under acclaimed singers Peter Volpe and Carol Vaness. Steele’s summer and training programs include two summers at The Brevard Music Center and one summer as a Studio Artist with Central City Opera, having sung the world premiere role of Louis Cypher in Brevard’s Falling Angel by J. Mark Scearce and in Central City’s acclaimed production of Britten’s Billy Budd.
